Blog Purpose

We joined a CSA (or farm co-op) this year and get a box of organic, locally grown produce delivered to our house every week. It's a lot of produce - almost a copy paper box full! It's quite a challenge to cook from the ingredients you're given, but it's rather fun! This blog will feature our dinner menu for every night of the week, including what's in the weekly box!
